thanks for the support.

Much better than one of the others I heard lol

Nice use of sound effects in this one, and I'm glad to hear you varying that drumline up! The snare could use some extra slap accomplished through layering, but the drum part works vary well.

The drop is interesting, but just a tad bit too weak in my opinion. It could highly benefit from a "thicker" sound - i.e., utilize more than just using your lead sound. You need some more anticipation, and this is the way to accomplish it.

I'm also not a huge fan of that lead that you used. It just sounds a little "cheesy" IMO (God, I hate to use that word...it reminds me of something someone else said to me lol...). I would experiment with finding a sound with a slightly more "cutting" tone, because the washiness of it takes away from the integrity of this intense sound you've got building up. This may be just me, though; you can choose to disregard this if you wish lol.

As for the bass...I still think it could use a little bit more "cut." Check out the comments that I left on "Some form of dubstep" to see about how I would go about improving this. And, if it doesn't make sense to ya, feel free to PM me lol.

You've mostly got the dubstep thing down, but I feel that there's just a little bit lacking here yet. Your conclusion is a little bit uninteresting, and the main melody ends up a little bit dull because of its constant repeat thoughout the song. I'd recommend - you guessed it! - some variation in places, as this will give this song a whole boost.

I like the sound FX you're using a lot. Perhaps you should add some more of those sound FX in there, which would make the song a little bit more interesting in places.

The motif in this song is excellent. It feels very "tribal." I hope these suggestions are able to help you out. If not, feel free to contact me, and I'll be willing to discuss it more in depth.

DrumBug responds:

Hey thanks, for the review :)
The one thing that has plagued me the most since i've started to produce myown music is variation...
It's something i think people have touched upon on most of my submissions that i am pretty repetative.
Even though i do try and mix it up a little, it usually does come out the same...
I will take alot of your advice on board, especially with your review on my other submission, regarding padding out the song , and making it feel a little more thicker...

Thanks for the feedback.

ACE!

i'm so in love with that bitch-slap bass of yours i just wanna make love to it!
wanna tell me what kinda vst's u're usin? :D

DrumBug responds:
